we measure distance over water in leagues, not KM, sailor.


That's under the sea, not over it, landlubber.

"im taking a sailing class" pierce

"but the closest body of water is miles away" abed

"we measure distance in leagues not miles abed" pierce

Damn, that's a throwback. Haven't seen Community in years. Should re-watch it sometime.

China's regional ambitions don't concern me. Far more consequential is the wholesale rotting from within happening in America.

I respectfully invite anyone who doesn't support the current "president" to stop using the words "we" when describing America's geopolitical situation. There is no "we", the administration has long forsaken a huge % of the population and we owe them nothing and the country nothing. If they want to rattle the saber at China, let them do so and get utterly humiliated as Biden is too busy sniffing kids to figure out a proper response.

I think it's better to call balls and strikes here. I don't think Biden actually cares about BLM or about calling whites evil - he is just pandering to his low information base.

I tried watching P&R, and just can't get into it. The Office has such cringeworthy lines in it that it can be a little uncomfortable to watch. I guess I don't enjoy sitcoms as much as I used to. Community was good, though. Shirley is still the best character on that show.

We measure distance over water in nautical miles, which are 6076 feet/1852 meters.
